more than one person (was/were)killed in the accident yesterday应该添哪个,为什么?

问题描述:

more than one person (was/were)killed in the accident yesterday
应该添哪个,为什么?

我记着应该是复数,也就是were

跟在one person 后面用was 就近原则

was

was,more than one+接名词单数,作主语看作单数。

more than one 短语是英语常用短语,请牢记:more than one 语意是复数
但语法是单数.例句:more than one girl is dreaming of being a "super girl",like Lisa.

more than one 语意是复数
但语法是单数
